Source: www.sharks.com.auCurrent Bulldogs hooker Corey Hughes has agreed to terms on a one-year deal which will see him join the Sharks for the 2009 season.
Hughes, who celebrated his 250th grade game for the Bulldogs against the Sharks at ANZ Stadium two weeks ago, has also played 202 NRL games in a 10-year career at the Bulldogs club.
From St Christopher's in the Canterbury junior league, Hughes made his NRL debut in round 9 of the 1998 season. He has played all 11 NRL games for the Bulldogs so far this year and was rewarded for his good form with selection in the City Origin team in 2008.
Despite approaching was could be referred to as veteran status, Sharks CEO Tony Zappia was convinced Hughes would be an asset to the Sharks next season.
"Corey brings a competitive edge as well as a wealth of experience to the club and despite being 30-years of age is in the best form of his career," Zappia said.
The announcement that Hughes will join the Sharks next season compliments the earlier signings of Trent Barrett and NSW State of Origin and Kangaroos back rower Anthony Tupou.

In accepting the award Patten said, "I'm honoured to win this again. It means a lot as the voting is determined by your team mates who are the best judges as to whether you are putting in or not on the field."
Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes commented,
"Luke's professionalism is second to none and all the hard work and commitment he puts into his training pays off for him every game."Bulldogs centre Daryl Millard was named as the Rookie of the Year. In his first year at the club he played in 25 NRL games and finished second on the Bulldogs try scorers list with 13 tries.
Folkes said,
"Daryl had a good first up year and I know in 2008 he will only get better."Premier League Player of the Year also went to a previous winner in Adam Brideson. He captained the side, taking it to the Minor Premiership and the Grand Final qualifier.
Jersey Flegg Player of the Year was picked up by Heka Nanai. The winger was strong in both defence and attack and has been rewarded for his efforts by being picked in the Junior Kangaroos side to tour Fiji.
Clubman of the Year was awarded to Corey Hughes who has played 240 club games for the Bulldogs over 11 years. He was a member of the Bulldog 2004 NRL Premiership-winning team.

He regularly sends football boots (his own and those of other Bulldogs players) and training clothing to Cherbourg Community Health as rewards for kids who meet their goals and to disadvantaged children to help build their self-esteem and show them they are being thought of.
Bulldogs CEO Malcolm Noad commented,
"Willie is a quiet bloke who doesn't search for accolades for the work he does in the community. He just sees an opportunity to help someone out and takes it."The Bulldogs.com.au Player of the Year Award, voted on by the registered visitors to the Bulldogs website, went to second rower Sonny Bill Williams, who finished the year as the Bulldogs leading try scorer.
